The rhetoric is the ancient art of persuasion. The term, rhetoric, originates from ancient Greek, rhetor, (ῥήτωρ) that means rhetorician, a trained public speaker, which comes from the word ereotor (ἐρέωτωρ) “I shall say”.
In the age of information overload, our minds have gotten used to pushing the stimuli we encounter daily into our subconscious. We register data without taking active control over how it affects us. It is common to forget that the influence between the audience and the speaker is bidirectional. The Polythrónes exhibition aims to bring both of these processes back to the conscious level and to affect how people use the power they have over their mindset. Action. Interaction. Reaction.
